FRENCIT STOCKS, The rise of French Stock goes on at an accelerated rate, the price of the Three per Cents. at the conclusion of business on Friday having been 70f. 3.5 c., according to the letters front Paris. It appears, though the plan is as yet very imperfectly developed, that some financial operations of a, very important and extensive nature are contemplated by the French GOvernment, relative to the gradual re duction of the interest of the debt. This has long been a favourite point with M. Villele, who regards - with pre per jealousy the success of England, in the pursuit of a series of measures tending to the same end, though in cumbered. with a debt four times as large as that of France, and with resources yearly diminishing. It is well known that the French Minister has already made two attempts, one of which was a total failure, the other very , nearly so, and had they succeeded, would probably, at that time, have proved fatal to the eredit of some of the very first capitalists in Europe. The third attempt, it is affirmed, is to be made by the French Government on its own credit, and on the strength of certain resources which have been gradually accumulating for that purpose. The revenue of France, it is said, is rapidly mi the.inerease, so as to leave a large surplus of means at the disposal of the Ministers from that source alone. Added to this, they have the command of a sinking-fund really deserving of that name, and constituting one-fortieth part of the whole deft of France, and have at hand a powerful auxiliary in the Bank of France, which possesses a superabundant capital at this moment, far more than ca* be employed for commercial purposes, and which it Will be glad to lend to the Government. The stock awarded to the emigrants, the gradual influx of which into the market obviously kept down the price, now comes out very slowly, and M. Villele has latterly found his treasury so well filled, that he has been able in many recent cases to offer the - parties money instead of stock.-- Nis plan, therefore, is understood to be, to get up the price of he Three per Cents. in the first instance, and having raised it sufficiently, to resell the stock and em ploy the money in paying off the .5 per Cents. A high price of the 3 per Cents., it is conceived, will hold out inducements to many holders of stock of the higher deno mination, to make a conversion of it into:3 per Cents. which there is, we believe, a provision for enabling them to dO under the old law; and to quicken their disposition tit do so, M. Villele intends to bring forward another law, authorising him to purchase the .5 per cents. at par, se lecting a certain portion, commensurate with his means, for redemption either by lot, or in alphabetical order. We profess to give this only as the reported plan of the French Mi n ister, and will not, therefore, offer any remarks upon it un til it is more generally known. It may be observed, however, anti the reduction of our own debt may be quo ted a s a eastain point, that there is generally a species of injustied ettuelied to all stich operations, because the gi plait, power , which may always command the aid of the monied - interest, is brought into action to produce such a forced and artificial circulation as may accomplish the de sired end, after which the 'poor fundholder is left to his fide, and probably suffers within a very short period a loss * of JO or 20 per cent, on bls capital.----'Pinter. DAVIS' STRAITS WHALE FISHERY. (From the Aberdeen Chronicle.) The following Whale Falling Ships have arrived here since our lust f----On Saturday, the Letitia, Clark, with 1 fish, 15 tons ; on Tuesday, the Middleton, Cargill, 4 fish, 45 tons ; Hercules, Thomson, 2 fish, about 20 tons ; and Alexander, Fairburn, with 3 fish, 40 tons : on Wednes day, the Neptune, Prods, 5 fish, 50 tons; and on Thurs day, the Dee, Cook, with 4 fish, Omit 45 tons of oi4 the last ship of the season belonging to' Aberdeen, and, it is believed, the last ship at the fishing ground, whir h she left so late as eland the t:lth ult. The ships being now all arrived at or near their re.; KpccOve ports of destination, the success of die whale fishing, !foth at Clreetilmid and Davis' Straits, can.be fully a ssert tined. The following, upon the TWA accurate cal culation, is the supposed quantity of oil imported, pre senting a larger average for each ship than was at one time, in the early part of the season, anticapated; but, from the very reduced number o f shi p s engaged in the fishery, affordiog a result as to the amount of the whole importa 'dim, which Shows a deficiency in the quantity beyond pre_ . cedent, for many years backward. At both fisheries there were only 95 ships, of which 5 were lost : the nearest average which cans be calculated on the remaining 90 ships is 74 toes to each, taking the fish generally at: 14 toils each, which gives a total of less than 6,500 tons, not more than one-third of the importation of a late successful. sea son s the price of course 'must experience a considerable ,ado4.nce, although, we fear, not such as to afford an ade quate renumeratton to the ship-owner. The following vessels have arrived here this week from Quebec Wednesday, the Quebec Parket, Andeurs r- son; Brilliant, Barclay; and Matchless, Nicol : on Th day, the Diadem, Wallace; and City of Aberdeen, Duthie.

In the present critical posture of affairs between the Governments of Russia - and Persia, the following par ticulars, furnished to us from a highly respectable source, may probably not prove unacceptable to our numerous readers. The Russian army of the Caucasus is under the com mand of the General Yermoloff, a brave and indefatigable officer, and who has, for his second in command, a General Williaminoff. The head-quarters of the army is at-the city Of Teflis, the ancient capital of Georgia, and the govern ment - of which city is administered by an officer of the name of Von Howen, a German by birth, and who is a General Officer in the Russian service. The army of the Caucasus is variously' stated in regard to numbers, but may,:probably, be set 'down as amounting to 80,000 men ; and they are certainly among the finest troops in the Russian service, being for the greatest part composed of the troops that were at Paris with the Emperor Alexan der, and who, conceiving most probably that they had im bibed, during their residence in France, too manyfree ideas, sent them to Georgia, to be as much as possible out of the way. Though the pay of the officers is much superior to that of the rest of the Russian army, they are very far from being satisfied, as they look on their service as a kind of banishment. The chief of the Etat Major is the Colonel Kotzebue, an 'officer of Engineers, and son of the celebrated German author. The staff of the army is very numerous, and among it is a number of Georgian Princes, and men of rank of that country, whom the Russian Government are particularly careful of attaching to its interests, and who are often intrusted with the command of the most import ant posts on the frontiers of the Russian and Persian do minions. That part of Persia nearest to the Russian possessions, is the province of Erivan, which is under the dominion of an officer named the Sardar, a powerful and warlike prince, as he may be justly considered,. and who, though in a manner subject to, and tributary to the Schah or King of Persia, is of a very independent and spirited character, and can be just barely said to acknowledge the Persian mo narch as his master. The Sealer of Erivan resides at. the town of the same name, a strongly fortified place, and which the Russians will long have cause to remember with regret, they hav ing in former wars been repulsed in their attacks on it with heavy losses. The present . Schuh or King of Persia is named Putty Ali Schell, a middle-aged roan; but much debilitated in health and constitution : his eldest son, and who 'may be considered as Prince Royal, which title is often given to him, is named Prince Abbas Mirza, a sensible, and for a Persian, a well-informed and liberal-thinking man, and possessed of a warlike and matchless spirit. The usual re sidence of the Prince is at Tabreez or Tauris, a strongly fortified town, and whose population is stated at 70,000 or 80,000 souls. _ _ It may be remarked here, that the name of Mirza is very differently understood, according as it is placed before or after a name : in the latter case it signifies a prince of the blood royal; and placed before a name signifies no thing more than the English appellation of Mister, or the French Monsieur. The Persian Ambasiador, • Abool Hassan,. who was in England some years since, was, by the Persians, called Mirza Abool Hassan ; but since his return to Persia the King honoured him with the title of Khan, or General; he therefore has dropped the title of Mirza, and is called Abool Hassan Khan, the title, in that country, being inva riably placed after the name. This personage is now in a high confidential situation near the King's person, who appears to hold him in high estimation. There are very few Luropeans at this time in Persia, and those chiefly English. The present resident at the Court of that country is Major Macdonald Kinnier, an officer in the service of the Ihmourable East India Com. pany, and whom the King of Persia, after a good deal of ' hesitation, agreed to receive as Resident on the. part of the Company, lie being extremely desirous that one should be sent direct from the King of Great Britain. Capt. Henry Willoch, an'olheer in the Company's service, acts as Se cretary of Legation : this is the same officer who formerly held the situation of Resident, and to whom the King of Persia behaved so exceedingly ill—indeed, so much so, as to compel Captain Willoch to return to England at the time he held the situation of Resident. Two medical of ficers of the Company's service, Drs. Cormich and Mac neill, who reside at. Teheran and Tabreez, the former place being now the caPital, or rather the residence, of the Per sian King, being a paltry miserable town, chosen by the King for his abode, while Nthan, the real capital, is left abancloned, and going rapidly to decay. Besides the.ahove English officers, a Major Willoeb, of the Company's eayalry - , resides at Tabreez, and a Captain Hart, of one of the King's regiments, which was lately on duty at Bombay, is now at Tabreez e tunl has the sole COM !mod of the army of Prince Abbas Mirza, which he has brought to a high state of discipline in the European man ner. At Tubreez, also, resides an Englishwoman, a native of London the daughter of an eminent gun-Maker, who is Married i'o Persian of the name of M g ahomet Ally, who was sent to England some years since by the Prince Abbas Mirza, to learn sonoi of the English mechanic arts, and who since his return to Persia has been intrusted with the superintendance of the arsenal of the Prince, who has alSo in his employ a Scotsman, formerly a private in the Royal artillery, who accompanied Sir Gore Ouseley in his einbaosy to Persia, and who imperintends the construction of the carriages for the artillery, and the casting 'of brass ordnance. Some Italian Officers are with the army of the Prince Abbas MirZao and not a few Russians are also in the ranks of the army: who, preferring the religion of Mahomet to that of the areeh church, and the indulgence of having more wives than they could have at home, have thought fit to change both their allegiance and their religion. The Persians are,.in appearance, attached to the Eng fish, a nd dislike the Prenelt net;at. A Dr. Schultz is now in Persia, pn a four years' residence, haying been sent out by the French Ciovernment for that length of On at its expance. lie is e Prussian by birth, and his object, et least his real one, for visitilig that country, is not accg rately ascertained. A Major Monteith, of the Madras II:00100m is also at this time in Persia, which he is making extensive surveys of, for the information of 00 nit India Company, ANOTHER COMET. Arrived icluswe. The French Papers mention the discovery of a new comet, which for some days has been visible in the con stellation Bootes. The unfavourable weather not having yet permitted astronomers to observe its motion, they find it necessary to await the combination of positive obserthva tions previous to speaking, of it. It wa the !Mb, at Paris, s discovered on e 22d ult. a t Florence, by M. Pons ; on by M. Bouvard; end on the 28th, at Marseilles, by M (:lambert, On the evening of the Ist inst., M.

The &minter packet has arrived at Falinouth, bringing a mail from Lisbon, from whence she sailed on the 22d ult., by this opportunity we have received Lisbon Gazettes and private letters to the 21st ult. The commotions in Algarve had not been sup. pressed on the 15th, the date of the last de. spatches from the General in that province, but de sertions had commenced in the ranks of the insur• gents, and he intended to march on the 19th with all his forces against thim. The following are extracts from the Gazettes : (From the Lisbon Gazette 18th Oct.) WAR-OFFICE, Ocr. 17. The Count D'Alva, in a letter of the:l3th writes, that on the following day be would join the regiment of infan try, No. 2, which left Lagos, with the militia of that town; he has with him the ,2d regiment of artillery, with 347 men, and the regiment of militia of Beja was arriving. The captain commanding at Selves writes from that town on the 13th and the rebels seemed disposed to retire into Spain. The accounts from the provinces of the North, are from the 11th to the 13th; not Ling had occurred to disturb public tranquillity. • WAR-OFFICE, Ocv. 18. The General, Minister of War, commanding the divi sion of Operation, writes from Vendas Novas, on the 17th inst., that the division is animated by the best sentiments. The infantry passed the night of that day at Saint Thiago de Escorial, and the cavalry at Vendas Novas: lie trans mits a dispatch of the 16th from the General of Alentejo, who, acceding to the desire of the General of Algarve, causes' to march to Beja and be at the disposal of that General, a Sufficient force and ammunition to act against the rebels. This force is to reach Beja, at the latest, on the 19th ult. The troops in the province of Alentejo are animated by the best spirit. The latest accounts from the provinces of the North are of the 13th and 14th ; public tranquillity had not been interrupted. The General of Algarve, writes from Almodovar, the 15th, that he thought to march on the 19th with all the forces which he expected, which were to assemble the preceding day for Faro, and to go to Tivim, where he would fix his head-quarters; that the enthusiasm of the troops is as great as possible, as well as of all Algarve in general, as is affirmed by the magistrates of the several dis tricts, who present themselves with the entire corporations, and the officers of militia of Tavim ; that he received notice that the whole assembled in Tavira, and intended to march to Castro Marin, to watch for an opportunity to escape to Ayamoule; that desertion has already began among them and will increase as they discover the false `mods by which they have been deceived. WAR-OFFICE, Octr. 20. OCT. 21.—The General of Algarve writes from Alma dovar, on the 17th, that he had given orders to all the I troops to march on the 17th, to Faro, where they were to arrive on the 19th; his entrance into 'favira, will take place on the 23d. It was known that the rebels had re tired from all paints of Castro Marin and Tavim, and it is supposed they intended to form in the former place, whilst the General had determined to march on the 24th. The best spirit continues to animate all the troops and the in4bitants of Algarve. The communication between Lagos and Lisbon, is al ready opened, and the Colonel-Governor of that town, writes on 15th inst. that he had published a Proclamation of General Count D'Alva, which had given inexpressible satisfaction to the people. Salutes of artillery were fired, &c. P,nblia tranquillity was established there. The Corregidor of the Mayor of Faro, wrote on the 17th, that on the preceding day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the last force of the rebels bad left that place, proceeding by hasty m arc h es to Tavira, after having taken from the public coff ers a ll the money they contained." Measures had been adopted to guard the town and restore tranquillity, which had been enacted in perfect order. The accounts from Minho, Trat-os-Moutes, and Alen tejo, continue to affirm that public tranquillity had not bean interrupted, The following is the proclamation of the Conde D'Alva, alluded to in the above, "inhabitants of the kingdom of Algarve.-.--A military faction has commenced in this fine country—a revolution for the Impose of attacking the sacred and legitimate rights of King Don Pe4 o , our sovere ign, Forged decrees, in flammatory proclamations, and whatever human wicked ness suggested t o d ece i ve t h e unwary, were the means which the wicked empl oye d t o ruin the prosperity which t hi s country enjoy e d, g enius of evil, enraged at seeing peace, ylenkY, and obedi ence to the laws prevail her e , an d f o reseeing also the fo r t uue an d prosperity which was pre poring by the establishments that are to be created, resol ved to bring among *yo u the worst of all scourges, and view inspired w i c k e d inen with the idea of a re volution,ithe in ev it a bl e ru i n of every country in which it Well, - then, inhabitants of Algarve? the COPtie D'Alva, Military Governor of this kingdom, is w brea k s thtll out. sar ong you, ant ' l will put an e nd to the affliction which op , presses your hearts.

The Conde D'Alva, knowing the honourable character of the Algarvians, doubts not that on this occasion they will second him with all their hearts by doing every thing to resist the rebels, not obeying their commands, intercepting their scanty resources, in a word, giving the most evident proofs of their zeal in the service of the King, and of the social virtues which distinguish them. The Conde d'Alva promises to every soldier who shall present himself in arms at Almodovar, within six days from the publication of the present Proclamation, that he shall be pardoned for his desertion,and be again received into the ranks. The Conde D'ALVA, Military Governor of Algarve. Head-Quarters at hlertola, Oct. 12, 1826. Our private Letters from Lisbon do not contain any additional particulars relative to the war in Algarve, except that the force proceeding against the rebels con sists of about 2,000 men. Lisbon itself continued quiet. At a late hour last night we received the Paris Papers of Saturday and the Etoile of Sunday morn ing. They do not put us in possession of any news of importance. The French Funds continue to rise, the per Cents. having reached 99f. 85c. ; and the 3 per Cents. 70f. 40c. The following are the only paragraphs worth ex- tracting (From the Btoile, dated Sunday, Nov. b.) PARAGUAY. ASCRNSION, AUG. 2.—The first and second legions have taken arms, but the reason is not known. These letters add, that promotions have been made in the army of Paraguay, and that the valiant Guarany has been named Generalissimo. It is to this officer as a senior, according to the regulations in vigour, that the office of President of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, and that of the Supreme Board of Finances, and of the administration of the public treasury, belongs, as well as the exercise of the functions of Chief Magistrate during the illness or temporary ab sence of Dr. Francis. The representatives and chiefs of the municipalities who met on the 16th July would not accept the resignation of Dr. Francis. This extraordinary man, after seeing that the Commissioners whom be had sent to Europe, had not succeeded, leads it melancholy life. In consequence he has alleged the state of his health, to retire to the town of Pilar, to some of his friends. The administration of b a irn , in consequence of t he absence of M. Guarany, has b confided ad interim, to Mr. Zapidas. The Commissioners who were in Europe have received orders to return to Pa raguay, and the Plenipotentiary of Brazil has been obliged to withdraw to Mattogrosso. Lastly, the most recent letters from that part of America, contain the following Proclamation, which Dr. Francis has published. PROCLAMATION. Inhabitants of Paraguay !—Your First Magistrate, after having answered to the confidence which you granted him by preserving the province in peace, has need of repose from all his labours ; for this purpose he has chosen the town of Pilar, where he will implore the Almighty to be pleased to consolidate the happiness of the country under the rules of equity and justice, which have hitherto pre served us from the evils which have afflicted the whole p G r o o v fo e u rn n n d ie r n e t spe a c d t i w nt i e d r i in w l, hi l ch re a t i i l re ti v ie er n y ie s a a s t u is r fi e e s d ha w v i s th b t et he t American Continent.

PARIS, NOV. 3.—Violent attacks are still made in our streets. In the night of the 29th and 30th of October, a coachman, named Vol, was found murdered in the Rue d'Ouest.

It appears that he entered the Spa fish frontiers by Verin, a town of Gallicia. The same letters mention that a cavalry regiment, which had been disarmed in Portugal, subsequently entered Spain by Zamora. They had succeeded in carrying off their horses, though without saddles. Desertions by Ciudad Rodrigo are also said to occur daily. it appears by advices lately received from the United States that the Alts of the Colombian Government have been making efforts to raise a small Loan, to the amount of 1,000,000 dollars in New York. They have not, however, been able to succeed, the people of the United States having before their eyes the fate of the Bondholders of the former Loans of Colombia. It is said that M. CAMACIIO, who lately arrived in this country from Mexico, is engaged in the arrange ment of a commercial treaty with this country, for which he has been entrusted by his own Government with full powers.

Neither is it our intention now to enter into that personal discussion, as report says that the question is to be brought before the House of Com mons at an early period : but as an attempt is made by the Morning Chronicle of this day to mislead the public, by withdrawing from notice the true cause of the change at the Stamp board, and assigning it to motives of personal pique against Mr. SEDGEWICK, for certain transactions connected with Scotch Jobs, we feel ourselves bound to declare, that we conceive it to be totally impossible that any man can read the evidence attached to the Report of Enquiry, and not decline that the whole systeM under which the business of the Board of Stamps was executed, was radically had ; and that any Chairman of a public Board, who al lows the business of the Department confided to his superintendence to be so misconducted, is unfit to fill a station of such importance. The true cause of the removal of certain members of the late Board of Stamps, is their neglect or inefficient conduct; and let us therefore hear no more of insinuations of corrupt motives for their removal, when the evidence is so con clusive of the disgraceful manner in which the business at the Board itself was conducted by the members who have been displaced. That public censor, Johnson the Wormer, Ns been again busy in his notorious calling, a s will be seen by reference to our Marylebone Po lice re p ort. It appears that he laid informations en m asse, 4,0' 1 ' 4 1 the proprietors of coffee-shops, for keeping irre g ular hours, and he succeeded in all his attempts except one, in which respectable witnesses contradicted the evidencs of this " arch spy." But there was one case in which the person convicted was unable to pay the penalty, a nti 11 ' said that he must take the consequences of his po vert y The Magistrate observed that " the law must take its course," and the poor man would no doubt have been sent to the House of Correction, to work out his • ~ penalty at the tread-mill, had not the flinty heart 0t JOHNSON melted at his case, and he begged the M. gistrate's permission to withdraw the information, frog motives of pure generosity no doubt, for he would 0 .• I like to take his half of the pe nalt y for the conviction : at the tread-mill. The Magistrate, who, the moment 1' before, had said that the law must take its course, now: caught the relenting spirit of Mr. JOHNSON, and emu . ••• 'mended the informer for his generosity in withdrawing .! the information (after the man was convicted), the prisoner was set at liberty. Now, here is a precious specimen of the ma nner io -:,• which the law works. A common informer hay this '• power not only of dragging men up t o justice at 0t ! Police offices, but of discharging them after coin tion, although the Magistrate had special doh° ly edv° - that the law must take its course. Are are no • cater for severe punishment, but the door should not be left at the savage discretion of 4 1 .' 1 ' i former, who would never see it wiled but w it : er golden key. But the prosecutor had no furtller pl la after conviction.

He would, undoubte . . 6 , landnitrak. lodged the offender in Newgate—and the M• tread' yew." should have committed the informer to the . ait. mill, to take his share of the penslty for i ns 0/0 . interested interference, amounting almost to a e fool pounding of felony.
